Abstract

A polyester resin composition is disclosed, comprising poly(trimethylene terephthalate) in a proportion of 90 wt % or more, wherein the resin composition has an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.4 to 2 and contains a phosphorus compound corresponding to from 10 to 250 ppm in terms of the amount of phosphorus element, a cyclic dimer in an amount of not exceeding 3 wt % and a bis(3-hydroxypropyl)ether in an amount of 2 wt % or less. This polyester resin composition has excellent spinning stability and high melt stability and is used for the production of a poly(trimethylene terephthalate)-based fiber having excellent whiteness and high tenacity.
